This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
ip_tunnel: fix kernel panic with icmp_dest_unreach
to the 3.4-stable tree which can be found at:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary
The filename of the patch is:
ip_tunnel-fix-kernel-panic-with-icmp_dest_unreach.patch
and it can be found in the queue-3.4 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree,
please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it.

Subject: ip_tunnel: fix kernel panic with icmp_dest_unreach
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit a622260254ee481747cceaaa8609985b29a31565 ]
Daniel Petre reported crashes in icmp_dst_unreach() with following call
graph:
Daniel found a similar problem mentioned in
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1007.0/00961.html
And indeed this is the root cause : skb->cb[] contains data fooling IP
stack.
We must clear IPCB in ip_tunnel_xmit() sooner in case dst_link_failure()
is called. Or else skb->cb[] might contain garbage from GSO segmentation
layer.
A similar fix was tested on linux-3.9, but gre code was refactored in
linux-3.10. I'll send patches for stable kernels as well.
Many thanks to Daniel for providing reports, patches and testing !
